It will be a Celebration Day.
It does look a little like a stairway to heaven, doesn’t it?
I’ve heard the same thing at least 10 times since 1960. Wake me when they’re flying.
Ya, then the Squad could use them to shuttle back home.....
I was hoping LedZep was releasing some new music. Darn that Plant....
Yes Tatoo....bringing us supplies and new guests to Fantasy Island!
"In Through The Out Door."
It was not received well but it's my favorite Zep album. In fact, scratch one bad track "Hot Dog" and it's pretty much perfect from start to finish.
The US Navy had four helium-filled dirigibles.
Three out of the four were destroyed by wind shear acting on that huge, lightweight structure.
As Chief Engineer Scott used to say, "You canna' change the laws of physics" and any new airship of that size would be just as vulnerable.
been hearing of the return fo airships since the 60’s. aside from the Goodyear blimp (I know there’s a diff), I don’t see any
There is not much sunshine in the UK. lol
Bezos wants floating warehouses in the sky for Anazon.
This is a great idea — and long overdue. There is no good reason not to use cheap, plentiful hydrogen as the lifting gas for a freighter. The Hindenburg burned because it was coated in rocket fuel (hydrogen flames are invisible).

I hope they name the first one The John Bonham.
Those boys do not know much about aerodynamics. This is total Bull S--t!
People used to travel in luxury in Zeppelins. Those of us that would like a LOT more room than an airplane provides (without paying an arm and a leg) might be a good market.
And solar panels can be a good supplemental source of power...especially at altitude.
